By walking through the village while listening to the guide's stories, we were able to experience the history and culture of the island, which we could not find in tourist books. The old-fashioned scenery was heartwarming. However, the walk was a bit long, so I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes.

It was too great to walk on the back roads that only islanders know! The guide's stories were interesting and made me love Kohama Island even more! Definitely a repeat!

I have visited Kohama Island several times, but this time I joined this walking tour to learn more about the island. I was able to get in touch with behind-the-scenes stories and daily life on the island, and rediscover the charms of Kohama Island that I had never noticed before.

I have visited Kohama Island several times, but this tour was different! Our guide was born and raised on the island and introduced us not only to the sights, but also to hidden places and episodes that only the locals know about, making us feel as if we were living on the island.

We had no prior knowledge of the island, so we left it all up to them to take us. We did some of the tour on our own by bicycle, but it was still good to learn more about the island by having him explain to us at the spots he recommended. We were very satisfied with the tour, which included a mountain where we could see the surrounding islands, a beach only accessible at low tide, an encounter with a cute goat, a delicious smoothie shop, and Churasan's Kohagura-so.

I have always wanted to visit the island where Churasan is set, so I decided to take the tour. I had a very good time. I would like to try snorkeling next time!

I joined this tour as a family trip. I joined this tour because I was traveling with my elderly mother and we could take our time. We were glad that there were no other participants besides us, so we could sightsee without worrying about others. The tour guide was very kind and listened to our requests from the planning of the tour schedule, and we were satisfied with the tour. The tour took us to the road where "Churasan" took place, to the beautiful highland, to the beach, and to a place where there were few people.
